3 1/2 years after surgery, my PSA started rising, so I had salvage radiation. 2 1/2 years later, my PSA started rising, so I went on ADT. That kept my PSA low for about 2 1/2 years at Which point I became castrate resistant and went on Casodex Followed by abiraterone When my PSA kept rising. In have Had two more reoccurrences, had to have a metastasis Zapped on my spine. Four years ago I found out I was BRCA2, which is why it keeps coming back, makes it much more aggressive.
It has now been more than 16 years and I Have been undetectable for the last 33 months. I’m on Orgovyx and Darolutamide And together they work great.
Prostate cancer is a chronic disease for almost all of us, not a deadly disease. Don’t get too concerned you have lots of years left, And they keep coming out with new drugs.
